Gingham Smocked Drop-Waist Mini Dress
Description
A checked summer dress built on a smocked bodice that stretches to you instead of the other way round.
Key Features
- Fully smocked bodice — shirred across the whole upper body, which is why the bust is given as a range rather than one number.
- Drop-waist seam — the gather sits low on the hip, so the skirt springs out below the natural waist.
- Short gathered skirt — pleated into the seam and finished with a ruffled hem that moves as you walk.
- High sleeveless neckline — cut close to the neck with narrow shoulders and no sleeve.
- Gingham check — a small even check woven through the cloth, matched at the bodice.
- Short length — 82 cm at S rising to 86 cm at XXL, measured flat from the shoulder.
Specifications
- Sizes: S, M, L, XL, XXL
- Colors: Red, Black, Blue, Pink
- Material: Polyester
